Boundary Road is a road in Canada. It divides Vancouver, British Columbia and Burnaby, British Columbia. The west side of the road is Vancouver, British Columbia and the east side of the road is Burnaby, British Columbia.[2]
History[edit]
Until 1911, Nanaimo Street was named as "Boundary Drive". The name was changed with the expansion of the City of Vancouver, which now has an eastern border at Boundary Road.[3]
In 1929, the western part of the road and neighborhoods on the western border of the road were annexed by the City of Vancouver as By-law #2014 and renamed Boundary Road. It was named that earlier in 1910. In 1950, portions of the road north of Dundas was renamed Boundary Road North.[4]
In 1945, the Prime Minister of Canada, William Lyon Mackenzie King named Boundary Road as a Distinguished Road in Canada.[5]
In 2013, road improvements were made and curbs installed.[6]
